African Species

Congo African Grey
(Psittacus erithacus)

The African Grey is considered by many to
be the best talking bird around. They all talk when in a home, just try and stop
them. They are very intelligent and some say up to a 3 year old child. These
abilities have made it a very popular pet.

The Senegal is nice bird that can talk
and imitate sounds. The Senegal is becoming a popular pet and is the most commonly
found Poicephalus. They are about 10". There body is about the same as a
Sun or Quaker but they have a shorter tail which is common with most african
species. It is possible to tell a male from a female. The females (pictured),
green v-neck goes lower on the body than the male. This method is not reliable 100%
of the time though. They are also a nice size bird for the home.
